Transcribed Image Text:Why do scientists use STP?
A. STP has no negative numbers which makes calculations easier.
B. Temperature and pressure affect the behavior of gases, scientists need to "standardize" the
conditions at which gases are studied.
C. Using 500 K and 500 kPa for standard temperature and pressure, conditions are kept constant.
D. STP is used so that the Celsius temperature can be used in gas law calculations.
